Alright so I have had this anemone a week now and the first three days it did fine. It's moved around but in general seems to have found a rock it likes. After the fourth day I noticed it came down to the sand bed and attached partially to the glass. Later that day it was tucked halfway under the rock in a small cave usually housing my peppermint shrimp. For some reason (I don't know why) one of my clowns decided that way a good spot to kick up sand and burried my anemone in the cave. I waited overnight to see of it would dig out and it never did.
I decided to intervene and flipped the rock over (having to relocate some corals and rocks in the process. He had started crashing hard. I left him attached to the rock and he stayed mouth agape for a while until over night he closed it. I woke up this morning to him puffed up but in the same spot. Left him and the tank alone, now he is under the rock and hanging down really pathetic looking. Advice? Leave him be? Pull him out?
